The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process

The following is a step-by-step explanation of Chapter 7 bankruptcy process after meeting with me:


  1. A bankruptcy petition and schedule will be prepared

  2. You must complete a short online credit counseling class

  3. Filing of the bankruptcy petition and schedules

  4. We will attend the 341(a) meeting of the creditors (30 – 45 days after filing bankruptcy), together

  5. Await bankruptcy discharge order from court


This entire process usually takes about 4 to 6 months.

If you are in over your head with debt please give my office a call at (877) 449-8898 and I will help you decide if Bankruptcy is right for you.
